Texas GOP Ideas Run Rampid

Wow, they just won the seat again by 20 votes and already they feel entitled and inclined to propose their conservative views on the rest of Texas! The one that shocked me the most was the one about the abortion laws, requiring that candidates listen to the heartbeat and see the ultrasound, before they be allowed to get the abortion.This is just cruel, the definition of when life begins should be made evident before this should be done.Pro-choice activists will be fighting this measure.Well, I'm glad to know that the Democrats have increased their number in the state House and Senate.A positive piece of proposed legislation by the GOP is the 2 year moratorium on state college increases.Something that is worth mentioning for entertainment purposes is the proposed constitutional amendment that would make it a right for Texas "to hunt and fish in this state." Does this really need to be a constitutional amendment.Why not, there are plenty others, what's one more?
